Summer activities
In today's Neighbors, Glenn Terry talks about the Grove having more summer activities. I agree. I had mentioned in an earlier post about the playhouse having some summer activities to allow it to bring money in 12 months a year and not just during their usual short season.
Miami is not just a winter destination for tourists anymore. In fact, aside from hurricanes, we are probably more comfortable than many northern locals. Ever go to New York in July? You can't breathe, the humidity and heat are oppressive sometimes, that's why the whole city is in the Hamptons.
The one drawback about having summer events are the hurricanes, but then again, that would have to be compensated for. Tourists are coming here in the summer, why not have things for them to do other than the beach and shopping?
Glenn mentions outdoor movies (I am in Key West today, they do that here and have for years), or outdoor concerts in the park. If a hurricane threatens, they can easily be postponed or canceled that week.
I'm not proposing an art show like the Coconut Grove Arts Festival, but why not something in the forgotten months of summer?
